Product is really well made. The quality is there. It is my first time using this particular brand and model (carls hot shot) so I figured the quality was going to be good! 2 issues that I will report back on but did not see many people talk about-
1- it is super thick and pretty squishy. It feels like standing on a trampoline. Not bad or good, but you will need to prepare for that, but you get used to it fast.
2- the hitting strip is super grabby. I am saying this after only hitting on it for 2 days so maybe it will start to give a bit. I think it will. But right out of the box it is very touchy.
In the end, it looks excellent, and feels like a quality product. I think once I put some miles on it it will be a top product!
